BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] This invention is related to a waxer for automobiles and inparticular to one which will prevent the user's hand from being injuredand can be operated with one hand only.

[0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art

[0004] The conventional waxer is bulky and heavy, thereby making itunsafe and difficult to operate. Further, it is powered by electricityby means of an electrical cord C (see FIG. 1) which causes furtherinconvenience and possible danger. Furthermore, one hand must be used tohold the bottom portion B of the waxer, while the other holds the tophandle A, making the waxer's operation tiring for the user. This kind ofmachine is large in size and it is impossible to use this apparatus forwaxing corners.

[0005] Therefore, it is an object of the present invention of thepresent invention to provide an improved wax for automobiles which canobviate and mitigate the above-mentioned drawbacks.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0006] This invention is related to an improvement in the structure of awaxer for automobiles.

[0007] According to the present invention, a waxer for automobilesincludes an upper having a top provided with a switch for controllingpower to the waxer, a lower edge of the upper cover being provided witha plurality of hooks, a seat on which is mounted the upper cover, withthe hooks engaged with respective recesses of the seat, the seat beingformed with a cavity, rechargeable batteries arranged in the cavity, anelectric motor disposed within the cavity and electrically connectedwith the rechargeable batteries and the switch, a base on which ismounted the seat, the base being formed with a circular chamber at acentral portion thereof and four tubular portions at four cornersthereof, an eccentric block disposed within the circular chamber andeccentrically affixed on an output axle of the electric motor, a spongeaffixed to a bottom of the base, and cover enclosing the sponge.

[0008] It is the primary object of the present invention to provide animproved waxer for automobiles which will prevent the user's hand frombeing injured.

[0009] It is another object of the present invention to provide animproved waxer for automobiles which can be operated with one hand only.

[0010] It is still another object of the present invention to provide animproved waxer for automobiles which does not require a power cord toconnect with a power source.

[0011] It is still another object of the present invention to provide animproved waxer for automobiles which is compact in size.

[0012] It is a further object of the present invention to provide animproved waxer for automobiles which can be also used for waxingfurniture.

[0013] The foregoing object and summary provide only a briefintroduction to the present invention. To fully appreciate these andother objects of the present invention as well as the invention itself,all of which will become apparent to those skilled in the art, thefollowing detailed description of the invention and the claims should beread in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Throughout thespecification and drawings identical reference numerals refer toidentical or similar parts.

[0014] Many other advantages and features of the present invention willbecome manifest to those versed in the art upon making reference to thedetailed description and the accompanying sheets of drawings in which apreferred structural embodiment incorporating the principles of thepresent invention is shown by way of illustrative example.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0019] The following descriptions are of exemplary embodiments only, andare not intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration ofthe invention in any way. Rather, the following description provides aconvenient illustration for implementing exemplary embodiments of theinvention. Various changes to the described embodiments may be made inthe function and arrangement of the elements described without departingfrom the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.With reference to the drawings and in particular to FIGS. 2 and 3thereof, the waxer according to the present invention generallycomprises an upper cover 2, an inverted U-shaped member 3, rechargeablebatteries 4, an electric motor 5, a mounting plate 6, an eccentric block8, a seat 9, a plurality of rubber members 10, a base 11, a sponge 12and a cover 13.

[0020] The upper cover 2 is provided on the top with a switch 21 forcontrolling the power to the waxing device according to the presentinvention. The lower edge of the upper cover 2 is provided with aplurality of hooks. The upper cover 2 is fitted on the top of the seat9, with the hooks engaged with respective recesses of the seat 9. Theseat 9 is formed with a cavity in which is arranged the rechargeablebatteries 4 by the mounting plate 6. The electric motor 5 is disposedwithin the cavity of the seat 9 and electrically connected with therechargeable batteries 4 and the switch 21. The seat 9 is provided withan electric socket which is engageable with a power adaptor 14. Thecavity of the seat 9 is formed with four inwardly extending lugs eachhaving a hole. The seat 9 is mounted on the base 11. The base 11 isformed with a circular chamber 112 at the central portion and fourtubular portions 111 at four corners. The eccentric block 8 is disposedwithin the circular chamber 112 of the base 11 and eccentrically affixedon an output axle of the electric motor 5. The sponge 12 is affixed tothe bottom of the base 11. The cover 13 is made of cloth for enclosingthe sponge 12. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 3A, the rubber member 10 is acylindrical member having two conical ends. The rubber member 10 ismounted so that its lower end is fitted in the tubular portion 111 ofthe base and its upper end is fitted in the hole of the inwardlyextending lug of the seat.

[0021] When in use, a user simply places the waxer according to thepresent invention on a vehicle, turns on the switch 21 on the uppercover 2 and then move the waxer on the surface of the vehicle. As thewaxer is tuned on, the output axle of the electric motor 5 will rotatethereby rotating the eccentric block 8 and therefore providing vibrationto polish a foamy wax of anionic active agent which has been sprayedupon the vehicle. The present invention is characterized by theconnection between the base 11 and the seat 9, i.e. the rubber members10 which will absorb the vibration to the hand of the user therebyprotecting the hand of the user from being injured.

[0022] It will be understood that each of the elements described above,or two or more together may also find a useful application in othertypes of methods differing from the type described above.

[0023] While certain novel features of this invention have been shownand described and are pointed out in the annexed claim, it is notintended to be limited to the details above, since it will be understoodthat various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in theforms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation can bemade by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from thespirit of the present invention.
